Daily Bag Essentials

What you decide to carry in your bag when you go to work everyday is just as important as picking the right clothes for the occasion. Here are some of the items you need to always have in handy to get you through the day whether you’re working, traveling or working out.

For Working Women

Bring your essentials such as your wallet, keys, business cards, cell phone, charger, and headphones/earphones. Add to your carry-on items the following: glasses (eyeglasses or shades), notepad and pen, jewelry organizer, water bottle, folding umbrella, and snacks if you’re too busy to buy food.

Don’t forget your kits such as your makeup kit and beauty bag. Your make-up kit should contain all the necessary items so you can retouch later (foundation, concealer, powder, blush, mascara, lipstick, eyeliner, and tweezers).

Your beauty bag should include the following: lotion, hand sanitizer, face wash, Band-Aids, sanitary wipes or travel pack tissue, toothbrush and toothpaste, medications like prescriptions drugs (if you have any) and pain relievers, hairbrush or comb and sanitary pad, tampons or cups.

Don’t forget your looks. Have a separate kit for the following: pocket comb, lip balm, pocket tissues, and toothbrush and toothpaste.

The Singapore weather can be harsh so don’t be afraid to take a hat and a foldable umbrella if you need to go outdoors.

For Traveling

Your change of clothes should have every piece of clothing you need. The type of clothes you should bring should be appropriate for the venue and the occasion.

Toiletries such as soap, shampoo, facial wash, deodorant, toothbrush and toothpaste, pocket tissues, sanitary pads, tampons or cups for women, and lotion. Bring a lotion with SPF as well. Women should take their makeup kit too.
